Can anyone tell me if Quantum 5w30 Longlife 111 504.00 507.00 engine oil
is ok in asz PD engine
It does not have the 505.01 on the can or state that it will suit the PD engine.
Handbook states 505.01 or 506.01 only for 96kw Diesel engine.

Thanks
Michael

Handbooks remain frozen in time whilst oil development continues .

504.00 507.00 was first produced in 2004 , so I guess your handbooks predate that .

The LongLife is VW's finest oil and out performs every other before it .

Just use it as a fixed 10k 1 year .

Thanks for the quick reply.
The handbook is 2003.
I would have been happy to use same if the 505.01 appeared alongside or if it stated that it
was suitable for the 96kw PD.
The 5w40 can may still carry the 505.01 spec. and state it is PD suitable (clear simple information for user)

Thanks again
Michael
